There has been rumors lately surrounding defenseman Sheldon Souray and the New York Rangers potentially acquiring the disgruntled veteran.

Brett Gardner on the Trading Block? I Hope the Yankees Are This Stupid

Towards the end of his column about why the New York Yankees should empty their farm system for John Danks and Mark Teahen on Sunday, the Chicago Tribune‘s Phil Rogers dropped a very interesting piece of gossip: Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner is apparently “more available than you would think.” Gardner, 27, was arguably the [...]

Could the Cubs land Pujols?

The head cardinals’ reign in St. Louis might be coming to a sudden and unholy end. According to Fox Sports senior writer Ken Rosenthal, trade talks with Albert Pujols are not going well and there are only two weeks before his deadline for a deal arrives.

Heading into the offseason, it seemed that both the St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols were optimistic about working out a contract extension this winter.

Looking at Lefties

I mentioned the other day in the “Life After Andy Pettitte” post that the New York Yankees are left with one left-handed pitcher which many people may perceive as a deficit. Again, all things being equal, I think the excess adoration for left-handed pitchers is unwarranted to an extent. Given the ballpark the Yankees play [...]

Andy Pettitte Retires: New York Yankees After Fausto Carmona?

Andy Pettitte’s retirement is bad news for the New York Yankees. After missing out on Cliff Lee, Zack Greinke, and Matt Garza, the Yankees have A.J. Burnett (10-15, 5.26 ERA in 2010) pencilled in as their No. 3 starter, followed by a pair of black holes in the back of the rotation. Without Pettitte, at [...]

Checking the Hot Stove: Updates on All the Cleveland Indians’ Offseason Trade Rumors

It’s been a real snoozefest of an offseason for the Cleveland Indians. Four months after Michael Brantley grounded out to end the Tribe’s 2010 season, the Indians have signed just one major-league free agent and haven’t made a single trade. Cleveland fans weren’t expecting the team go on a shopping spree this winter, but still, [...]

Grady Sizemore Trade Rumors: The Real Reason This Deal Won’t Happen

Last week, MASNsports.com’s Phil Woods turned the baseball world on its head when he reported that the Cleveland Indians have had “conversations” with the Washington Nationals about trading center fielder Grady Sizemore and stating pitcher Fausto Carmona, and the blogosphere hasn’t shut up about it since.
